I didn't find any newspaper articles explaining the Incest charge which didn't surprise the newspapers went through a phase in reporting such matters. There are several trees for him on Ancestry as well as the one I made. Some have his mugshot some do not. There's no story attached to any of the trees.

He lost his first wife and his mother the same year she died 1 April 1914. Must of been heartbroken.
